Blatant advertising

[Aquagility]

Can we get rid of TradeWithMe, please?

[Gromit]

Blatant advertising.
AB would never condone that kind of thing.

[B00]

LMAO @ Gromit ;-)

still, I agree with Aquagility. It wouldn't be so bad if TWM's poem was relevant to the post he slapped it on!

[jno]

oh, I didn't see this post, I've just sent off an email with the same request.

[sara3]

amen to that!

I have been reporting them all weekend and again this morning. At this rate I'll be in trouble for over-use of the report facility!

Because nothing happened, I also emailed AB around 10am. Still no action.

It appears the lights are on but nobody is in at AB Mansions and so the spammers are taking full advantage.

WAKEY WAKEY AB ED.

I have just clicked on the link out of curiosity,

That's 3 minutes of my life I'll never get back. What a load of drivel - obviously a hormone filled, intelligence lacking 14 year old.

He started off as 41cloud41 then re-registered with this name. I posted some "unkind" comments on his poem but he deleted them.

An ABer has been pressing the Ed for a poetry section on here - the latest on 26/7/08 - do you think they could be the same person?

[Aquagility]

This was JonnyBoy12, gen2. He thought Chatterbank was too highbrow!

[Ethel]

legend - all arts are open to interpretation by the observer, therefore all observers are critics.

Anyone who puts their creation on display in public should be prepared for all comments.

[buildersmate]

He continues with his campaign to fill every available qustion with the link to his drivel.
AB seems to be impotent in all of this - his account could have been terminated by now.
Don't they realise it is one small step on the road to destroying their own site.

[squarebear]

I mailed the webmaster of the site he is spamming and got this back:

Hi *****,

Thanks for letting me know, I will take care of it.

Regards,

Isn�t it just a link to some really naff poetry?
How is that advertising?

[funnygirl]

He is putting in nearly every thread!

[jno]

it's advertising his poetry, Octavius (I assume it's his). Not all advertising needs to involve demands for money.

The power of spamming ! ! !

That poetry site has over 21 thousand poems on 2102 pages. They are listed in order of popularity with the top ten on the first page.

People clicking on the links have raised its popularity to such an extent that it is now in 6th position!. If this continues, he'll push his other poem off the top position before the AB Ed gets back from her holidays.
